Remember the first time you walked into a yarn store?

Maybe you were a little nervous. Maybe you weren't sure if you were the kind of person who belonged in a place like that — if you knew enough, or could even tell good yarn from the basic stuff at the big box store.

Maybe you just stood in the doorway for a second, taking it all in. The color. The texture. The quiet hum of a place that takes making something by hand seriously.

For a lot of people, that first visit is the moment everything shifts. Before that, fiber arts was something you did alone, maybe a little self-consciously. After that, it starts to feel like something you belong to.

We think about that a lot. About how it feels to walk into a space like this for the first time, and how much we want that experience to feel like coming home rather than showing up somewhere you're not sure you're welcome.

If you've been thinking about stopping in — you are absolutely welcome here. Whether you've been knitting for thirty years or you just bought your first set of needles last week.

💬 Tell us: what was your first yarn shop experience like? We'd love to hear it.

Some of you met this yarn during Yarn Crawl. A few of you have been asking about it ever since. We're happy to share that the last skeins of our Along the Chehalis yarn are now available to order online, and we wanted to take a moment to tell the story again for those who are just hearing it.

This yarn begins in 2004, when Meg and Brad started their dairy. The wool was almost an afterthought at first — a byproduct of sheep that were there for other reasons. Around 2010, a friend nudged them toward doing something with it, and every couple of years after that, they'd send a batch to the Olympia Yarn and Fiber Mill and wait to see what came back. What came back was an East Friesian wool — a middle-grade fiber with real character. Warm, sturdy, and grown right here in our corner of Washington. Made for sweaters, blankets, and hats. Made to last.

The 2023 shearing was the last. Brad and Meg sold their flock that year, and after more than a year of processing, this final run found its way to our shelves just in time for Yarn Crawl weekend. Now it's found its way online, too.

Meg was the heart and soul of Ewe and I. She was there at the beginning, she was woven into this community, and every skein of this yarn carries something of her in it. Knowing that this wool is going home with makers who will turn it into something lasting — that feels exactly right.

There won't be more after these. If you'd like to take a piece of this story home, you can find them in the shop or order online now. 🐑🧡

Sometimes the only thing standing between you and weaving is the part that comes before the weaving.

If you've ever looked at a floor loom and thought, "I want to try that — but where do I even begin?" — we have something for you.

June 16 & 17, instructors Brad and Joan are hosting Sample Weaving at Its Best here at the shop. Five floor looms will be dressed and ready to go. You just weave. Four techniques, all yarn provided, five students max.

No setup. No guesswork. Just you and the loom.

Register online — or stop in and we'll answer any questions.

You want to weave. But every time you think about it, the loom setup stops you before you even start.

We hear this more than you might think. Dressing a loom is its own skill — one that takes time, patience, and a fair amount of practice before it stops feeling like a puzzle. And if you've ever gotten halfway through a new draft only to realize the journey isn't what you hoped, you know exactly how discouraging that can be.

This class was built for that feeling.

Sample Weaving at Its Best — June 16 & 17 — with instructors Brad and Joan.

Here's how it works: Brad and Joan will have five floor looms already dressed and ready when you walk in. Each one is set up with a different threading and treadling. Your job? Just weave.
Over the two days, you'll move through four techniques — Clasped Weft, Undulating Twill, Pinwheel, and Overshot — following the treadling pattern posted on each loom. You'll walk away with a woven sample from every single one, plus the PDFs to reference at home whenever you're ready to try them on your own loom.

All yarn is provided. You'll just need to bring a tape measure, scissors, and a finishing or tapestry needle.

A few important details:

🧵 Skill level: Intermediate (weaving basics, 4-shaft knowledge, and hemstitching)
🧵 Class size: 5 students maximum
🧵 Shona's Café will be open 6 AM–3 PM — plenty of time for a coffee before you settle in at your loom

This is one of those classes that removes every excuse standing between you and actually weaving. Spots are limited to five, so if this is calling your name, don't wait.

This weekend, we hope you’ll slow down in a way you don't usually let yourself.

Enjoy longer meals, unhurried mornings, and time that doesn't have somewhere to be. And if you're anything like the makers we know, there will probably be a project tucked into the bag you bring along — something to work on while the afternoon stretches out.

That's one of the quiet gifts of fiber arts. It travels with you. It fills the pauses. It gives your hands something to do while your mind rests.

Whatever you're making this weekend, we hope you enjoy every stitch of it.

From all of us at Ewe and I — happy weekend. 🤍

Summer knitting has its own particular logic.

You want something that travels well. Something light enough for warmer days but satisfying enough to keep your hands busy on the porch, at the beach, in the car on a long drive. Something you'll actually finish before fall.

We've been thinking about exactly that, and our shelves are stocked with yarns that are perfect for summer projects — cottons (like this Glimmer cotton yarn by Juniper Moon Farm), linens, lighter-weight wools, and blends that breathe without sacrificing that wonderful feeling of working with something beautiful.

Not sure where to start? Come in and tell us what you want to make. We'll help you find the yarn that gets you there.

You could order yarn online in thirty seconds. We know that.

You could scroll through thousands of options, filter by color and weight and fiber content, and have it on your doorstep by Thursday. The convenience is real and we're not going to pretend otherwise.

But here's what you can't get from a website:
Someone who looks at what you're making and says, "Oh, that yarn would be perfect for that pattern, and here's why."

Someone who lets you feel three different options before you decide. A shop that knows the difference between what you're asking for and what you actually need.

Ewe and I exists because we believe that guidance, community, and a real creative experience are worth something. We hope you do too.

Thanks for shopping local. It genuinely makes a difference. 🤍

Every Wednesday, something quietly wonderful happens here.

People come in with their projects tucked under their arms — some halfway through a sweater, some untangling a mistake, some just starting something new. They sit down, spread out, and before long someone's asking a question and someone else has the answer, and there's laughing, the clicking of needles, and the kind of conversation that only happens when people are making something together.

The Wednesday knitting circle isn't a class. There's no curriculum, no pressure, no level you have to be at. It's just makers showing up for each other, and for themselves.

If you've been looking for your people, they might already be here on Wednesdays.

📍 Ewe and I, Chehalis | Wednesdays from 5 pm - 7 pm

Everyone who knits was a beginner once. Even Wendy.

If you've been wanting to learn — or you tried once, and it didn't quite stick — Beginning Knitting with Wendy is the class that changes that. You'll learn the foundational skills that make everything else in knitting possible: casting on, the knit stitch, the purl stitch, and how to read a simple pattern. By the end of the session, you'll have a real project in your hands and the confidence to keep going.

No experience required. Just curiosity and a willingness to try.

Wendy is patient, encouraging, and genuinely excellent at helping beginners feel capable from the very first stitch. This is the class her students recommend to every friend who says, "I've always wanted to learn to knit."

Not every errand feels like a treat. This one does.

There's something that happens when you pair a beautiful yarn shop with a café. The afternoon slows down. You stop rushing. You pick up a skein and really look at it. You order something warm and remember what it feels like to be somewhere you actually want to be.

Ewe and I and Shona’s Café exist side by side on purpose. Because buying yarn is better with good coffee and a sausage roll. And good coffee is better with something beautiful to make.

Come for one. Stay for both.
